Document Summary
Human motor development- a process in which we pass during the course of life and an academic field of study. Changes that occur in our ability to move and our movement in general as we proceed through the lifespan. Motor development definition as a field of study- changes in motor behavior which reflects the interaction of the maturing organism and its environment. Newest definition- the changes in motor behavior over the lifespan and the processes which underlie these changes. We attempt to improve understanding in 3 areas: a) we try to present and understand motor behavior with what is happening and why. b) what this behavior was like in the past. What the behavior will be like in the future. Team up with other experts from other areas to study and do research. Divide human development into cognitive, affective (socioemotional), motor and physical domains.
